The Conduit, which has yet to have a publisher announced, could be published by SEGA after it was revealed that SEGA listed The Conduit on their FTP site.

Although this does not confirm they are the publishers, since word got out about the possibility, SEGA has removed The Conduit folder from the FPT section of their site.

Update It's final, SEGA is publishing The Conduit for Wii. And as a bonus-surprise, the game will feature Wii Speak and Wii MotionPlus usage.

SEGA has released an official statement and has updated all of its localized websites, now featuring The Conduit for Wii in its games-database. Set for a release during Spring 2009, new details on The Conduit surprised many gamers with new features including usage of the Wii Speak and Wii MotionPlus peripherals.

"The Conduit is one of the most talked-about Wii games this year and High Voltage Software has only scratched the surface of the game in terms of what they have shown so far," says Simon Jeffery, President of SEGA of America. "They have proven that graphical and technological innovation can be exciting to the Wii market, and SEGA is thrilled to partner with a team that truly shares our belief in the Wii's gaming potential beyond the casual market."

"High Voltage Software's partnership with SEGA to publish The Conduit represents an important milestone for this studio," said Kerry Ganofsky, CEO and founder of High Voltage Software. "SEGA shares our vision for the title and its tremendous potential, which is why we chose them from a long list of potential partners. With their support, we are confident that The Conduit will deliver the definitive shooter experience that Wii fans have been waiting for."

The Conduit takes players into a dark story in Washington D.C. after a vicious alien invasion has rocked the country. An organization called the Trust has sent in Secret Service agent, Mr. Ford, to go up against the insect-like alien race known as "The Drudge". Armed with an array of futuristic weaponry and an intelligence-gathering device simply called the All-Seeing Eye, players follow an intricate storyline filled with conspiracy, shady government activity and terrifying aliens.

The Conduit's detailed control system allows players to customize and configure look sensitivity, turning speed, the dead zone and much more. As players delve further into the mystery behind the extraterrestrial invasion, shocking details reveal that the invasion may have been brought on with help from the government itself.

Powered by High Voltage Software's groundbreaking Quantum 3 engine, The Conduit ensures that players will experience single and multiplayer gameplay with graphical fidelity never seen before on the Wii. The Conduit will also support the recently announced Wii Speak peripheral, allowing online multiplayer gamers the ability to chat as they destroy aliens in each terrifying level. Additionally, the game will take advantage of the Wii MotionPlus for optimal control.

Features:

• Next-Gen Visuals : Dynamic environment mapping, interactive water with real time reflection, and four stage texture composition including gloss, diffuse, and bump mapping all make this the best looking game on the Wii
• Fearsome Enemies : A vast number of terrifying alien creatures work against you as you attempt to prevent the invasion
• Intelligent Behavior : Enemies make use of human-like behavior in combat including use of cover and tactical thinking
• Intense Weaponry : Unleash destruction with a huge arsenal of human and alien weaponry that utilizes the innovative Wii controller for unique firing modes
• Secrets Revealed : Use a device called the All Seeing Eye (ASE) to reveal concealed objects and enemies, providing a deeper level of puzzle solving
• Full peripheral support - Nintendo's new Wii Speak & Wii MotionPlus
